@Jumbowoot says we need someone to represent Deals.Woot on Price Is Right. Who do we send?

I always think up these AMAZING questions but never post them because it's too late at night, well duck fat, not this time! This question is golden and I expect it to be the most thought provoking questions ever asked here.

Who do we send? and if we can't all agree on someone it's going to be @iggz.

A lot of the game is being able to know the MSRP on items, because of this I'm thinking of sending pinhead zippy, that guy always seems to have an eye on the MSRP of things so I figure he'd be the best bet... or would it be better to go with a more spicy wooter who posts more deals?

Jeeze I can't believe I almost let this gem of a question slip away. Started typing it at midnight, posting it at 3:38 AM.

Anyways. Who do we send guys? we can't get beaten by Jizzbee or those other guys at Jammin butter win.

@cowboydann: i hereby accept your nomination. as a DW representative at TPIR, i would uphold the values and morals cherished by the DW community. that is to say, when learning of the MSRP of a product, i would immediately yell "Downvote!!".

if i weren't able to play plinko, i would say, "The Price is Right with no Plinko? it's like a woot-off without a BOC. Worst. Price is right. Ever."

if i were to win any prizes, i would also immediately complain that "it's not like the old days of Bob Barker and Rod Roddy".

and of course, if any of the prizes contained cheese, i'll be sure to shove that cheese right up @lichme's ahem...

I can always guess the prices when I watch the show on TV, but then again I'm horribly shy and get stage fright. My bid for that awesome set of skis may just be "orange" because that's the first thing that pops in my head.

@luvche21: Even if you have been paying attention I haven't been the easiest to spot around here the last few months. Me moving homes and them monitoring all internet usage has lead to me having less time to hang out around here. I've been finding more time here and there so I'm trying to spend some of that time here :3

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
